Sorry for my column's absence last week, it was due to technical difficulties beyond my control. Then as the week rolled on I just decided to let that one go. I know what my Lists and Weekly Honorees were to be so if you're interested feel free to ask and I'll be happy to share those lost picks. For the week of this column, I watched only four of the six Summer Sitcoms I'd intended to resulting in only (those) four honorees in that category. Congrats to Syfy for being the only network to air multiple series placing on my hour-long Scripted List this week. Syfy has earned multiple placements on my last five Scripted Lists, four of which they bore that distinction alone.The TV week highlighted in this column featured the series premiere of Dark Matters: Twisted But True, the mid-season return of American Chopper, the season finale of Hot in Cleveland (topping my sitcoms list for the second WiR in a row), Seventeen Magazine's annual cover special Seventeen's Pretty Amazing (on MTV), and the summer finale of Leverage.One interesting development of the past week I thought I'd share was my very first watching of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva. I really liked it, enough to look forward to watching it again - it airs tonight @ 9/8c. It's possible that I just landed on one of the series' best episodes, or something, but I frankly don't think so. Rather, I get the impression it's been good all along and I've just been missing out. Who knows? I could be wrong... it's all subjective and maybe I'll not dig the next few entries. However, I fairly quickly noticed numerous elements suggesting D3 will be another series I watch from now on. This new-view revelation may seem random but since I've either been wrong about what the show was for two plus seasons or it's grown into a show I now easily liked, I felt behooved to spread the word. I was particularly struck by the talent of series lead Brooke Elliott.This Tuesday (9/6) delivers the season premieres of The Rachel Zoe Project, and, Outhouse favorite Sons of Anarchy. The waterfall of new fall series begins next week.Now onto my picks from last week...* Warning: videos below may contain spoilers and/or mature content not suitable for all ages *

This week's well-promoted episode (embedded above) features a prominent guest star you've probably already heard about... the last few epis, though, also include a lot of great guest stars (Brent Spiner being one of my favorites)! Even if you've never followed this series before I recommend checking out the last few highly entertaining Con-centered epis.

For the Disney fans that might've missed it, here's a link to Jeffrey Epstein's latest edition of D23's Disney Geek series! D23's Disney Geek will be on hiatus for the next few weeks so this could be the last installment till October.

Rather than talk about movies to close out this WiR column, I thought I'd highlight a singer starting anew. International pop-sensation Lena Katina (formerly the ginger half of t.A.T.u.) debuted her first two tracks & video last month which unluckily escaped my attention. On her own now and speaking English, Lena's elegantly tasteful (but NSFW) solo video is entitled, "Never Forget." In support of her career relaunch Lena's started a video blog to keep her fans updated as she records and promotes her upcoming album & new singles. Her most recent (Sept.) blog update can be viewed here, but in last month's posting she asks for help from artist fans in designing her a logo. Since I know a couple artists and friends of artists read my column I thought I'd post her request here now, since I missed it last month when she first made it.

* and to end with a bit of bts glamour, here's another clip (I'm pretty sure is SFW) Katina posted in August, The Making of Lena Katina's Photoshoot by Kate Turning. Enjoy.

Behold another Forceful scrolldown of every primetime column-worthy show I watched this week here.

Hopefully you didn't find the number of clips in this entry to be too many. Perhaps I was trying to make up a bit for not publishing a column last week. Enjoy this final quiet week before the fall roll-out begins and have a great Labor Day holiday, Be Well & Happy Viewing!
